On September 27th, The Bakersfield Museum of Art held an after-hours art event themed, Poetry in the Gallery which featured CSUB poets who gave live poetry readings inspired by the museum's current fall exhibition.

English professor, Matthew Woodman told us more about the event with a few shout-outs to those who made the event possible. ​

"Our September 27th Art After Dark collaboration with the Bakersfield Museum of Art was a smashing success! We had 166 attendees, double the number of last year, and the former, current, and future CSUB poets performed outstandingly! I would like to recognize Deans Curt Asher and Robert Frakes for supporting the event; thanks to them, we were able to print beautiful copies of the poems and artwork to distribute to the attendees. I would also like to thank Alli Duncan and Rachel Magnus (two CSUB alumni!) at the Bakersfield Museum of Art for providing the space and time to allow us to share our words with the community and for bringing beauty to the heart of Kern County."​
